Pours a dark ruby/coppery color with deep dark burnt orange hues when held to a light source and a two finger foamy yellowish head that slowly fades into a lasting ring. Spotty lacing.

Earthy floral hop aroma with some dank oily notes and subtle citrus as well as a prominent caramel malt scent. Slightly biscuity with a bit of toasted nut. I'm not sure how old the bottle is but it's not smelling as fresh and/or hoppy as I expecting.

Chewy resinous mouthfeel with some fresh earthy floral hops. Slightly creamy body with a slightly roasted caramel malt back bone that provides some nice balance. Hints of biscuit, toast and roasted nut. The malt presence is a little heavier than I prefer but the dry bitter hops still shine through. You can still taste how fresh the hops are and while they are most dominant up front, the pleasant dry bitter flavor lingers throughout into a slight dry finish. The ABV is very well masked without even the slightest alcohol warmth, making it very drinkable. (1,042 characters)

A: Pours a nice copper orange with no real head to speak of. Little to no lacing on the glass.

S: Smell is very subtle. A little bit of hops, but not much else. I expected more from this.

T: Okay, so this is pretty tasty. Though, as others have said, I'd class it more as a standard IPA than a DIPA. It doesn't have that DIPA hop bomb hit that usually marks that style. Instead it's a mellow and rather pleasant hoppiness that is really balanced out by the sweetness of the malt. A hint of alcohol provides a bit of warmth.

M: Smooth with a slightly dry and crisp finish.

D: It's easy to put down, so I'd say it's very drinkable - as an IPA. As a DIPA, there are much better ones you can find. A nice effort overall though. (728 characters)
